Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.

Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.

She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.

Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

    Most based AOC, I wonder if the hate-thirsting over her will begin again now that she’s becoming such a needed voice in these trying times.

    Only asking because the memes about Ben Shapiro wnating her feet pics were funny as hell.

    But seriously, can it actually not? I low-key hated all the “Let’s just tell dumb blonde jokes with AOC instead of the dumb blonde.” memes, cause it’s like… when we call Trump dumb, we can point to shit he actually did (like turn every American into a woman because he’s too transphobic to know how to read), we aren’t just saying it to say it.
